Biography
Djamel Ameziane was born on 14 April 1967 in Algiers, Algeria, and in 1992 he immigrated to Austria because of the Algerian Civil War. He worked as a chef for three years, but he was denied a longer work permit, and he applied for political asylum in Canada under a false Dutch passport. It was denied, so Ameziane moved to Afghanistan in 2000. He joined al-Qaeda, given money by Canadian al-Qaeda member Raouf Hannachi, and he tried to escape to Pakistan. However, a local tribe arrested him and handed him over to the government in exchange for a reward, and he was handed over to the United States for detention at Guantanamo Bay in 2002.
